PITTSBURGH -- T.J. Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to a three-year extension that will make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history -- again.
Watt agreed to a three-year, $123 million extension with the Steelers on Thursday afternoon, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, ending a contentious, months-long contract negotiation. The deal comes with $108 million fully guaranteed at signing, and the $41 million average per year tops the $40 million APY given to Cleveland Browns star edge rusher Myles Garrett earlier this offseason.
